Caruso blocked the shot, so hard that we all heard it, and it didn't even move from Luka's hands. Luka just lays it in. Dude is an ox.

This has got to be the biggest ever 1st quarter deficit?

Vuc on pace for 20-10, they'll make some rally to make things #competitive and that's a good night at the office

These guys, they just don't know when they're beat! (it was at the 6 minute mark of the 1st quarter)

Caruso checks out after hitting the over 20 minute mark, so he doesn't need to come back in and this game still counts for his all-defense team candidacy

Vuc holding down the paint and frustrating the Mavs centers into (checks) 18/19 shooting lol

on the one hand I can't stand seeing Vuc in there stat-padding, on the other I do enjoy seeing him getting dunked on every third possession

Fourth quarter comeback!!!!!!zzzzzzzz

I mean fuckin seriously they're up by over 30 pts and Kyrie and Luka still in there with 8 minutes to go?

In the words of John Lee Hooker, it serves them right to suffer. 😠

I mean even Donovan called it early for once lol

Mavs broadcast was saying Luka was on some streak of 30 point triple doubles. Luckily competitive Bulls kept him to 27

Honestly that's even stupider. Good for you racking up points against scrubs.

Also what if he had gotten hurt in that time? And also doesn't excuse Kyrie still being out there either.

Expand full comment

I mean Luka doesn't really run or jump, so the chances of him getting injured are pretty low. 😂

The guy averages like 65 games a season though. 😂 And he's not that far away.

Expand full comment

Yeah, but how many of those missed games are because of bullshit injuries so he can rest?

Expand full comment

He left the next game due to hamstring soreness! See karma for not just sitting his ass down during the blowout. Also the more I think about the more hilarious it is that he tried to keep his streak alive against our scrubs and couldn't even do it. Lol

Turns out three young, athletic bigs vs grandpa Vooch doesn't end well.

Is Gafford the Bulls second best draft pick in the past decade?? Seriously, Coby is obviously better but who else? Maybe Ayo. I guess maybe Bobby, but fuck that guy.

I just looked up their draft picks... and it is amazing how truly bad they are.

This season has been an agonizing re-appraisal of the GarPax regime. I don't want to be that guy, I actually feel deep psychic pain having to admit any of this. But the new guys are so fucking bad that even GarPax look like competent individuals in comparison.

Gafford was (a) a good draft pick who (b) they signed to a four year deal (c) for less than the league minimum. And they just blew it for nothing, in a deal for a player that didn't last more than two months and another that probably shouldn't have. He was traded by the new regime the same day they acquired Vuc, surrendering Carter Jr and picks that could have acquired Kessler and Lively too.

This wouldn't be such a grim spectacle except for the fact that these clowns have Nikola Vucevic penned in as their "double-double machine" center until approximately the heat death of the universe.

Completely agree. GarPax were bad at their jobs but they were at least trying. They made a lot of bad moves, but a broken clock is still right twice a day. AK just isn't even trying and he doesn't care.

Expand full comment

but the thing is... the vuc thing looked like they were trying too. And Lonzo and Caruso and the like. But then... they just gave up. It is very odd.

Expand full comment

Right. It's like AK went all in and it totally backfired and now he's scared to do anything so he just doesn't.

McConnell is beating Caruso. That's gotta feel bad.

OK he got him back.

That did not look good for Coby. Damn. Damn.

Expand full comment

That was a fucking hell of a finish.

Expand full comment

Another Bulls point guard with a knee injury. Classic.

Expand full comment

I read just now it was his hip, and doesn't seem to be a major thing. Glad for Coby!

Expand full comment

Yeah, me too. I just assumed it was his knee based off of the replays and the way he was holding his leg, but I'm glad it ended up being his hip and apparently nothing too serious.

Expand full comment

Yeah, the quote I read I think it was Donovan said he also thought it was his knee based on that but it was actually hip.
